Flames' Tyson Barrie: Inks one-year contract
Barrie signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with Calgary on Thursday, per Salim Nadim Valji of TSN.
Barrie was participating in the Flames' training camp on a tryout basis. He was limited to a goal and 15 points in 41 regular-season contests with Nashville in 2023-24, but he's traditionally been an effective presence with the man advantage. If Calgary uses him on its top power-play unit, then a 40-plus point campaign is entirely possible, but the Flames might opt to use MacKenzie Weegar in that role over Barrie. At the end of the day, while Barrie can be an effective offensive force under the right circumstances, it remains to be seen if the 33-year-old will enjoy those opportunities with the Flames.

Flames' Jarred Tinordi: Waived Thursday
Tinordi was put on waivers Thursday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Tinordi had nine assists, 64 PIM, 170 hits and 94 blocks in 52 contests with Chicago in 2023-24. Although he's expected to start the season in the minors if he clears waivers, it wouldn't be surprising to see Tinordi among the first defensemen promoted by the Flames should Calgary run into injury troubles.

Flames' Walker Duehr: Waived by Calgary
Duehr was waived by the Flames on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Duehr made a career-high 40 regular-season appearances in the NHL last year, recording two goals and seven points while averaging 8:07 of ice time. If he clears waivers, he'll presumably begin the 2024-25 season in the minors but could be called up at some point this year.

Flames' Dryden Hunt: Designated for waivers
Hunt was placed on waivers by the Flames on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Hunt played in just 28 NHL games last season in which he garnered three goals, five assists and 33 shots while averaging 11:08 of ice time. Assuming the 28-year-old winger passes through waivers, he figures to start the upcoming 2024-25 campaign playing in the minors for the Wranglers.

Flames' Jonathan Aspirot: Sent to the minors
Aspirot was sent to AHL Calgary on Thursday.
Aspirot had six goals and 27 assists in 66 AHL appearances with the Wranglers in 2023-24. The 25-year-old has yet to make his NHL debut and could do so at some point in 2024-25.

Flames' Clark Bishop: Sent back down
Bishop was assigned to AHL Calgary on Thursday.
Bishop was recalled by the Flames on Wednesday, but he'll head back to the minors a day later. The 28-year-old hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2021-22 season, when he made nine appearances for Ottawa, and he should spend most of this year in the minors.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Strong through two frames
Wolf made 22 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Jets on preseason action on Wednesday.
He was sharp, but couldn't hold back the Jets in the third when they broke a 2-2 tie and never looked back. The athletic netminder has little to prove in the AHL, but he will be tested by talented NHL lineups this season. Wolf is a two-time AHL top goalie (2022, 2023) and AHL MVP (2023), among a litany of awards over his young career. He's competing with Dan Vladar for the starter's role, but 27-year-old journeyman Logan Cooley has also impressed Flames brass. Wolf could end up in a three-headed goalie situation in the first few weeks of the regular season, but that shouldn't interfere with his fantasy value this season. The Flames could settle into a "hot hand" approach in net as the team rebuilds, and Wolf will be a sharp daily play.

Flames' Jonathan Aspirot: Recalled from minors
Aspirot was promoted from AHL Calgary on Wednesday.
Aspirot figures to provide some extra organizational depth for the Flames heading into their final two preseason contests against the Jets on Wednesday and Friday. After that, the 25-year-old winger will almost certainly rejoin the Wranglers, where he figures to spend the majority of the upcoming 2024-25 campaign.

Flames' Jake Bean: Expected to play Wednesday
Bahl (lower body) is expected to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Jets, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Bahl sustained a lower-body injury during last Wednesday's exhibition game against the Canucks, but he should be back in action against Winnipeg. The 26-year-old made 72 regular-season appearances with Columbus last year, tallying four goals and 13 points.

Flames' Martin Pospisil: Will miss Wednesday's clash
Pospisil (lower body) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against Winnipeg, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Pospisil had eight goals, 24 points, 107 PIM and 238 hits in 63 games with Calgary in 2023-24. The 24-year-old will likely play in a middle-six role when healthy. If Pospisil isn't available for the start of the season, then Dryden Hunt might draw into the lineup.

Flames' Clark Bishop: Elevated from minors
Bishop was recalled from AHL Calgary on Wednesday.
Bishop passed through waivers Saturday, so his promotion to the NHL roster will likely be temporary. After Friday's preseason tilt with Winnipeg, fantasy players can likely expect the 28-year-old center to be returned to the minors -- especially considering he hasn't played in an NHL game since 2021-22, when he was with Ottawa.

Flames' Kevin Bahl: Good to play Wednesday
Bahl (lower body) is expected to play in Wednesday's preseason game against Winnipeg, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Bahl had a goal, 11 points, 82 PIM, 151 hits and 103 blocks in 82 appearances with the Devils last season. He averaged 17:24 of ice time in 2023-24, but he might see his role increase in Calgary after being traded over the summer. However, Bahl isn't expected to serve on either power-play unit, and he'll probably finish the campaign with under 20 points.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Set to start Wednesday
Wolf is expected to serve as the starting goalie for Wednesday's preseason road game against the Jets, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf stopped 33 of 34 shots during his first preseason start against Edmonton this year but had slightly less success against the Canucks a few days later, turning aside 17 of 19 shots. The 23-year-old is competing with Dan Vladar to serve as the Flames' No. 1 goaltender to begin the regular season, but the two netminders could start the year in a platoon.

Flames' Ilya Solovyov: Waived by Calgary
Solovyov landed on waivers Tuesday, according to PuckPedia.
Solovyov appeared in 10 contests for Calgary in 2023-24, producing three assists and a minus-3 rating. The 24-year-old was a seventh-round selection by the Flames in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The Belarus native will play a major role for AHL Calgary in 2024-25 if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Good to go
Coronato (lower body) is expected to play against Seattle on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Coronato sat out Saturday's 4-2 preseason win over Vancouver after leaving Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks late in the third period. He chipped in three goals and nine points in 34 regular-season appearances with the Flames in 2023-24.

Flames' Dan Vladar: Facing Seattle
Vladar will start Monday's preseason game against the visiting Kraken, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Vladar made 15 saves on 17 shots in two periods of work during Saturday's 4-2 exhibition win over Vancouver. If he fends off Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley, Vladar could be Calgary's starter versus the Canucks for Opening Night on Oct. 9.

Flames' Andrew Basha: Signs entry-level contract
Basha signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Calgary on Sunday.
Basha has one goal and one assist through two games this campaign for WHL Medicine Hat. He had 30 goals and 85 points across 63 WHL contests in 2023-24. Calgary selected the 18-year-old forward with the No. 41 pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.

Flames' Justin Kirkland: Hits waivers
Kirkland was placed on waivers Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Kirkland contributed eight goals and 30 points in 43 regular-season outings with AHL Tucson in 2023-24. He is poised to start the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Calgary.

Flames' Martin Frk: Waived by Flames
Frk was placed on waivers Sunday for assignment to AHL Calgary, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Frk signed a two-way deal with the Flames after playing last year in Switzerland. The 30-year-old winger last played in the NHL in 2021, when he scored two goals in six games. Frk figures to spend the bulk of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, where he'll provide some scoring depth for the Flames.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Out again Saturday
Coronato (lower body) won't play versus the Canucks on Saturday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Coronato sustained an injury Wednesday against the Canucks, and he's not yet ready to return. He's impressed when healthy this preseason, giving him a decent chance of making a young Flames roster, though he could require time in the AHL if he's out much longer.
